Everything, of course, will be amplified in the wake of Benedict...
...Those early injuries prepared him for some tougher ones in college, as Sherlock suffered a large gash on his head in the 2005 season opener at Holy Cross. As he was blindsided on a kickoff return, Sherlock made head to head contact with a Crusader, which knocked off his helmet and gave him a head injury. Yet fittingly, he was back on the field for the second half.“I always joke around about that saying, yeah, my head exploded and everything,” Sherlock laughs.Donning eye black and sock spats for the games, Sherlock?...
